A Buttery Pastry posted:Conceptually, I like the idea of needing resources, not just money, to make your state function. Like, access to good lumber for ships should be pretty important for any state that wants to build a significant navy. I'm hopeful that it'd be possible to mod the input system to represent resource consumption for maintenance and upkeep as well - it shouldn't be the case that a road network built in 1390 remains useful in 1760 without ongoing expenses, and would hopefully allow for actual backsliding rather than just stagnation.

I'm kinda into the idea of managing my state's ability to wage war via managing its resources. Like cav should be really really good but no horses? Start walkin' son.

I really hope they improve the trade system from imperator. Which also had a ton of various goods that you could never get enough of because you could only ever get a handful of trade routes. I do like the idea of actually needing to use the resources instead of getting an abstract bonus from just having them. So with the mix of mechanics from eu4, imperator, and now Vicky, when do we get a dev diary of managing the dynasties of your country? Gotta bolt some ck mechanics on as well and make this a true paradox voltron game.

It’s good imo. But I really like relatively peaceful empire gardening and hate army micro.

We'll know if Vicky3 is good when the 1.0 release hits in a few months.

I tried vic3 like four times and each time I got bored because the gameplay loop involves a several minute wait for buildings to construct

Vicky 3 is good because I do not want to do anything in these games but manage my little garden and do some light imperialism for more things (people, resources, land) to garden. As such I also like the dev diary for Eu5.

I got Vicky 3 when it popped up in the humble monthly and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not sure why game speeds below 4 exist though.

In 1890 it essentially becomes speed 1 rather fast

I don’t see any real reason to worry about Anbennar development because of EU5. We don’t know if EU5 is going to even be good, or when it’s going to be good (since that’s frequently not until sometime after release with these games). Couple that with the monumental effort of starting effectively from scratch with a project like Anbennar and I don’t see EU5 Anbennar making much headway until like 2027.

Jay Rust posted:so is victoria 3, any good? 90% of the game is micromanaging resource buildings/factories which, if you play Paradox games probably sounds like fun but is a surprisingly hollow, unrewarding experience.

Change something. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Change something else. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Queue up another building or two. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. And that's at a fast game speed. Do you think watching the population meter on colonies in early-game EU4 is the most exciting aspect? If so, hang on to your tophat!

Yeah but basically every non-war mechanic in EU4 is just waiting for a meter to fill so you can press a button that will either make a meter fill faster or give you a better number for war. And the war mechanics are bad

Vicky 3 features a lot of waiting but everything that Paradox makes features a lot of waiting so I am unsure as to why this is a knock on Vicky 3 specifically.

Vicky 3 for me is like an Anno game but without all the things that make Anno beautiful and fun.
